rodders0223 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I don't care if there is chilled piss on draft, if I'm paying a mark up it's not on a bottle I can drink at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pain in the arse getting them apart, especially without shaking them up. Saying that, it’s a small price to pay to avoid choking wildlife. Nah. **** the turtle, I want plastic straws and collars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. 100% Bottles are what you buy when you can't get draught beer. Always. I've seen blokes in pubs ordering "craft beer" in cans for **** sake. It's mental. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find beer bloaty but I like 2 drinks of whatever I'm drinking. Ergo 2 cans is better for me than two pint+ size cans or bottles. Yes, I get this. If I'm trying a funky new ale out, 330ml can is perfect. I might not want 500mls of a gammon and choc ice IPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a bit of Hobgoblin Gold. I'm not crazy about the basic Hobgoblin either. But I REALLY like the King Goblin. May well open a bottle this evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I've not had it in years, but I'll always have a soft spot for hobgoblin even if it's a bit bland to me these days. I must have drunk hundreds of bottles of the stuff, it was my gateway ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever draught. I don’t like the taste of beer but do like the refreshingness of it. Draught beer tastes horrible. Either that or I’ll order vodka and coke or rum and coke, both of which I have at home as well. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 My local is all bottles, nothing on tap and that's fairly common here, even pubs that do have something on tap will only have 1 or 2 beers but then several different varieties in bottles The shops are maybe as much as 90% bottles There was a great place in kiddy which was fast becoming my favourite pub, Beer Emporium, had bottles (and cans tbf) from all round the world, I think at one point it was over 200 types, including bottles of modelo, I could accept it then as it was something that was better than what was on tap but in a normal pub? No way, for me to get a bottle they'd either have to have something ultra rare or the selection on tap be terrible but then if that was the case (as in fosters or carling) I probably wouldn't be in there anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 No such thing as barrel aged stouts on tap, and they’re usually pretty hard to get hold of in normal shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
